As you make these calculations, you need to allow for the impact of
inflation, not only on your accumulated funds but also your spending
requirements throughout what we all hope will be a long and enjoyable
period. While inflation has been dormant around the world over the
last 10 years this may not be the case over the next 10 years, and almost
certainly not over a full retirement period.
With current synchronised global growth, easy monetary policy is
slowly being reversed, interest rates are again increasing (particularly
in the US) and so too is the likelihood of inflation with increasing wage
and cost pressures.
Ten years ago, the official cash rate in NZ was 8.25%. It has been
below 3.5% since 2008 and currently sits at 1.75%. The relevance of this
is that the days of our grandparents where they could reliably live off
the interest from their investments is (currently) a thing of the past.
While $1m invested 20 years ago would provide a comfortable level of
income, with the impact of inflation and low interest rates, you would
need closer to $5m.
Financial planning is a long game and so inflation is an important
consideration.
In summary, retirement goals are very personal to you and yours
may vary markedly from your siblings, colleagues and others around
you. And that’s OK! Perhaps the easiest way to set your retirement
income goal is as a percentage of your current net income. Remember,
however, to update your expectations as your income and aspirations
change, and update the level of your KiwiSaver contributions and other
savings to match your current thoughts.
